OneMain Financial will move its longtime downtown headquarters to the Legg Mason Tower this spring, becoming the latest in a string of companies that have shifted from the central business district to Harbor East.

The consumer lending arm of CitiGroup Inc., OneMain has signed a 110,000-square-foot lease at the building. More than 640 employees will occupy five floors of the 24-story waterfront tower at 100 International Drive. The 11-year lease will bring the glass tower, which offers some of the highest-priced office space in the city, to near occupancy. The 650,000-square-foot building was completed in 2009.

OneMain currently leases more than 300,000 square feet at 300 St. Paul St. It’s unclear whether the company, with Baltimore roots dating back to 1912, plans to reduce the size of its operations in the shift.
